@tsungxu Just the vibe of the open hardware scene in the early to mid 2010s, and the media attention

“Microlearnings” and it’s the fundamentals of computer vision lmao

[Dominique Paul @DominiqueCAPaul]

Lighting differences can make a huge difference in robotics. Today, I found a quirk in my model exemplifying this.

> I collected 10h of training data.
> 3h in, I notice that the left arm following the right arm for the final movement could be good for the final insertion subtask.
> I change behaviour.
> But the first 3h didn't include much nighttime data (=dark room).

🎯Result
The same policy reliably exhibits different behaviour on exactly this subtask depending on the lighting.

So many microlearnings to be made in robotics.

@El_Sobrante8 Hey do you still have the subs for this? the mlv doesn't seem to have them embedded (I might be doing it wrong). Thanks!

Webb’s images from Tj are special to me bc they show the world I was born into and grew up in. I still cross the same border to get to work and still see the curio guys do their rounds. Doesn’t hurt that Webb has more juice than entire generations of street photographers combined

Got the M2 serviced and a 65mm for the mamiya 7. I need to take a million pictures this summer.

This sucks, man. Billboards should only have a burger or an injury attorney on them.

[Abhinav @Abhinavstwt]

I sometimes wonder what a non-tech person thinks when they see these billboards

Do they even understand any of it
